HE WOULDN'T GO BUT HE DID
It is the opinion of John Carlson
that a husband of 20 years -was en
titled to some consideration. If his
family did not Want him around the
house because he was not working
and was drinking, then the famiij
ought to come across with the tour
ist fare to move him elsewhere.
Therefore, when he came into
court yesterday after a two weeks'
continuance, during which he was
to pack his duds and depart from the
home of his wife and daughter he
frankly admitted that he had hot de
parted and, minus the pension, wad
not thinking of departing.
"We Will fix that Up for you With
out further trouble," said Judge Rob
inson. "Six months in the Bridewell."
A slip df paper saved Daniel J.
Considine from a lohg sojourn as the
city's guest.
"This man is hopeless," said Ass't
State's Att'y ttosinla to the judge,
"lie has been given chance after
chance to go to Wofk and give some
money-to nis sister-in-law, who is
taking cafe of his two chiidreh since
the death of his Wife, but he pays no
attention to the order of the CoUrt."
"I have paid," said Dan. "I paid
$4 and I got a receipt to show."
"He has not," said the sister-ih-law,
"not one cent I was to the
clerk's office and there isn't a penny
there."
But the slip of paper showed that
Dah had paid $4 bhly he had paid it
to the wrong clerk. SO he got anoth
er chance.
